NEWS responses to Rumours!
(Featuring Massu, Tegoshi and Yamapi)

Each member is given 10 "rumors" that seem to apply to each member about love and girls. (Credits to Hello Michi.)

Massu

* Rumor 1: If you were to discuss love with anyone, it would be Koyama.

Koyama would be a bit of an airhead about it! If it were someone within the members, it would probably be Shige. Because we go out to eat a lot in our private time, I�d probably ask during those times.

* Rumor 2: You want your girlfriend to make you gyoza.

For the first thing, I�d want it to be gyoza! There�s no better taste than the taste of Gyoza. Even if it tastes bad I would still want her to make it for me because just her doing it would make me 100% satisfied.

* Rumor 3: Your first love was in your 4th year of elementary school.

I was called over after school and I confessed while facing the opposite direction but it was because I was in my fourth year of elementary school. After that, nothing happened especially and it was just left like that!

* Rumor 4: You�ve given flowers to a girl before.

She likes flowers so I�ve given my mother flowers on mothers day. Saying �Congratulations!� and then handing her the flowers would be a good way to do it.

* Rumor 5: You like a girl's eyes best.

Rather than saying I like her eyes the most, her eyes would be the first thing that I look at. When I looked at someone�s eyes I can feel what kind of atmosphere that person has.

* Rumor 6: Even if she�s the same age as your mother, she could become a love interest.

It might be possible that, without knowing that persons age, I would meet them by chance and fall in love and by coincidence they would be the same age.

* Rumor 7: There have been a lot of times when you�ve slightly been taken by someone at first sight.

When I�m walking around town or when I�m on public transport, there have been a lot of times when I�ve thought �Ah, that girl�s cute�!

* Rumor 8: You�d be happy if you were confessed to by a girl.

I�d be happy, but I�d want to be the one to do it. It seems like it would better coming from me. If I were to be confessed to, rather than it being a face to face meeting, it being over the phone would probably be better.

* Rumor 9: You�d need a long time to heal a broken heart.

No matter how I think of it, of course I would. There are probably some people that can easily just get over it but if it were me I�d be thinking �was it something so easy to get over?�

* Rumor 10: You keep your romance a secret. When I was in elementary school, it would always be obvious to everyone around me! They would say �That guy likes her�. But my intentions are to keep it secret.

Tegoshi

* Rumor 1: You want to have pair goods with your girlfriend.

Ultimately, if it�s with the person you like, having everything as a matching pair would be good! Even if someone said �aren�t you an idiot?� I wouldn�t care!

* Rumor 2: The food you would want your girlfriend to make for you is Nikujaga.

I like Nikujaga but right now I feel like it would be �Fried vegetables�. But this is only a temporary answer for this question, but my truthful answer would be �Anything is fine�.

* Rumor 3: You like a more chubby type of girl.

The really skinny type girls seem like they would break and would make me worry. A girl who does dance or exercise and is sort of chubby because of the muscles. I like a healthy-looking type of girl.

* Rumor 4: You don�t like a girl with a lot of male friends.

It�s OK if they have a lot of female friends! But I wouldn�t be able to comprehend her having male friends that she�s close too. It would have the feeling of her being everybody�s friend and, honestly, I wouldn�t like it. . . . . .

* Rumor 5: There has been a time when you�ve fallen in love and cried.

I cried in my second year of middle school. I fell in love at first sight and when I confesed to her on that very day she told me �I don�t think of you as anything but a little brother.� So I just went home and cried.

* Rumor 6: You�d view that your anniversary with your girlfriend is important.

I feel like I�d want it to be an important day. But recently I feel like I�d forget it. . . I�d want to do something like put a message up on a giant screen in the city.

* Rumor 7: You would be charmed by a girl�s cute voice.

Because I like a girl that has a girly atmosphere. Truthfully, the way she uses words is important. If she says things like �oi, you!� or �don�t joke around!� or other rude sort of words it�s completely X!

* Rumor 8: Frankly, you�re a romanticist.

When turning a corner you bump into each other and say �Oww!� and then fall in love. . . I believe in that sort of fateful meeting. So in that way, I�m a romanticist right?

* Rumor 9: When it comes to a confession, you�re the type to say it directly.

I�ve confessed to someone for someone else through text message but you can�t see their facial expression through the phone. When I�m going to say something important to someone, I want to tell them while looking right into their eyes.

* Rumor 10: You�d want to be lovey dovey with your girlfriend.

Of course I would! We�d be valuing our time to ourselves but when we�re together, I�d want us to be really friendly. Holding hands the whole time would be completely OK!

Yamapi

* Rumor 1: Your first date was in elementary school.

We went to watch a movie and on the way home we got off a few stations before our actual station and walked the rest of the way home. I remember us not wanting to separate so soon so we wanted to get off earlier.

* Rumor 2: You want to be with the person you like everyday.

It�s not �Being together every day = I love you� but right now I feel like it�s �If we can have faith in each other even if we�re far apart = I love you.�

* Rumor 3: You�re the type who doesn�t fall in love at first sight.

There have been times where there�s a girl whose outwards appearance is my type and she catches my attention because of her outwards appearance and it makes me want to get to know how she is on the inside as well. I can�t deny that there�s a possibility that I would fall in love at first sight!

* Rumor 4: When contacting your girlfriend, you�re the type who prefers calling rather than texting.

I�m the type who sends texts to my friends and if I they don�t reply I get worried about it while waiting. So, I�m more of a calling type probably.

* Rumor 5: You wouldn�t consult with anyone about love.

In love, firstly thinking �What do I want to do?� is important. For example, even if my best friend said �That girl is no good� , in the end I would still not think that it has any relation at all.

* Rumor 6: You�d definitely pay all the costs of the date.

I have no items that I want so I don�t use my money too much. In exchange for that, I�m the type who would pay generously when going out with people. I�d want all the costs of the date to be left up to me.

* Rumor 7: You don�t like unrequited love.

Isn�t liking the heart pounding feeling of unrequited love a very Masochist thing? I think that I�d quickly want her to be mine and mutual love is more fun right?

* Rumor 8: You�d become completely stuck if you made a girl cry.

Basically, I�m really bad with situations when someone�s crying. But even if I made her cry, I think that I wouldn�t apologize if I wasn�t in the wrong. That�s another troublesome part about me!

* Rumor 9: You want to ask someone out on a date by phone call.

The method doesn�t really matter to me. But if it was between a phone call and a text message, I would choose a phone call. Because I�d want to hear her voice and I�d want a reply right away.

* Rumor 10: You have a fetish with a girl�s legs. I don�t really have any pickiness with legs. I think I might have said in an interview a long time ago �If I had to say one, it�s legs!� When I first meet with a girl it�s her entire atmosphere that I take notice of.

It's really busy these days preparing for the exams. That is why I update my blog so slowly. Sorry for any withdrawal symtomps (lol jk).

Do you know that Geocities is closing down soon???? That means that my bloggie would be down too!!!! WHAAAA~~~~!!!! I need a similar server to host my blog!!!! Any recommendations anyone????

*Sighs* I miss my Jun, Tegoshi, Kame and my Japanese dramas. Why doesn't the drama RESCUE updated at My Soju at all!!!! *sigh*

Feeling: Vexed
Listening to: Don't You Ever Stop - KAT-TUN

! 19th April 2009 09:54PM !

Hey hey~ how is everyone?

Sorry for the late update as I have been mugging for my coming examinations in June and I am scarily behind time. Studying part-time is not easy after all.

Just a very short dedication to all my friends who are visiting this blog (only 4 though) and are preparing to graduate this year.

"We can make it" by Arashi. MatsuJun is probably the only JE guy that I approve of the permed hair lol.

Angelia - Don't give up and pull yourself through!!!! Graduation is just around the corner!!!!
Tan Hui Ying - All the best for your business module!!!! Your FYP should not be a problem though hahaha~ SUPPORT NEWS AND ABUNDANT JIN!!!!

Haha~ Talking about Tan Hui Ying, I met up with her in the Northpoint Library last last Saturday to start our intensive studying. According to her, the food in Cafe Galibee in Northpoint is better as compared to the one in Ang Mo Kio, even though the fries are super oily and the fish fillet is almost over-cooked and salty.

And... at night...

2nd attempt at influencing her to like NEWS.

In conclusion, I think NEWS is not her type of boyband. It takes only one RESCUE PV to get her to like KAT-TUN. In fact, for KAT-TUN, I was trying to get her to like Junnosuke Taguchi cos' I personally think he is the type of guy that she likes. In the end, she likes Jin (without seeing the eyes). I totally agree with her that Jin is damn cool and stylish without seeing his eyes. So, when the RESCUE and Lips PV is shown with Jin's eyes covered, both of us shouted "JIN!!!!" in front of the computer but when his eyes are revealed we just kept quiet. Of course, I definately would root for my idol Kazuya Kamenashi, which she does not approve. Anyway, it was really fun.

I wish I can go back to either Angelia's or Hui Ying's house again and play the fangirl game. Haha~ I kinda missed the Pacific Concert. It would be so much fun actually with all of us critising each other's idols (if the other parties can take it lol).

My second uncle died yesterday morning around 8AM at the age of 58. My god! Still so young. This kind of shock me as I don't expect it to be so soon. Imagine our parents might pass away at that age???? We must really treasure our parents, and this should start right now.

Ok. Cya! Should go back to mugging again. *Sigh*

Feeling: Anxious
Listening to: Happy Birthday - NEWS

! 10th April 2009 11:27PM !

Just to share an old video about Tegomass...

Watch out for Tegoshi's and Massu's 'latest' craze =)

Bye bye!

Feeling: Tired
Listening to: None.

! 09th April 2009 11:46PM !

Today is Yamapi's birthday!!!!

Why is Pi's birthday to be celebrated?

1. He is one of the better looking guy in NEWS, so much in the sense that his face can salvage any horrible hairstyle on him.
2. He is my ex-idol. I kinda idolised him since middle of last year until I met Tegomass.
3. He sings pretty well (though his songs can be less erotic hahaha).
4. He got a good built.
5. He is grateful to almost anything he has.
6. He is such a powerful and clever leader that he even owned Jin (KAT-TUN) in a lot of competitions (especially true in Summary of Johnny's World).
7. Half of the NEWS fan-base visiting this blog are Yamapi fans =P

Haha~ And who can forget pictures of our favourite leader? TA-DA (pictures of Pi credit to Martina)!!!!

One of my favourite Pi collections.

How many people can still look stylish after a roller-coaster ride? Only the Pi can.

Pi in NeoPrints. Ah! That reminds me! I haven't been taking NeoPrints since God knows how many years ago.

Where can you find such funky handsome doctor? Look no further.

Pa Pa Pi. This is the famous Pi picture from the Marriage quiz. Pi should smile more =)

Since we are done with Pi, let's move on to the full PV of Koi no ABO!!!!

My commentaries:

* Yamapi looked very striking in the PV with the Kikumaru hair. Well, as mentioned before, this hair is always deemed better than the Poogle hairstyle.
* Shige looked like a clown in the PV with too much exaggerated facial expressions. He has got very BIG mouth and he posed a lot in the PV with his hand on his hip (EWW~ GAY~!) His presense seems solely for entertainment purposes.
* What's up with Kei man! He kept staring at the buttocks of the lady in red. Is he nervous or what?
* Even Ryo made funny expressions at one time when he is trying to sing high pitch (look at the PV carefully). He seriously should take up singing lessons from Tegoshi - singing quality pitches with grace.
* Massu has evolved!!!! For once, he abandoned his kawaii-ness and transformed into a man!!!! Another reason for supporting the RESCUE hair. One funny part in the PV is that the girl who is dancing with Massu suddenly handed him a pair of boxers (?) O_O and Massu's expression is like totally blank (?) Wow... We know she wanna... cos' he's Massu.
* Tegoshi. What can I say about this guy? He is so awesome that girls flocked to him while other members had to approach the girls themselves (Kato Shige made me laugh so much at his attempt to get the lady in orange to him when rejected. Not a very pretty lady I would say, and the lady totally has the 'I despise you' look when Shige came close to her).
* Video in general is pretty funky and retro. The song is also very catchy. Some people say that this is an imitation of "Choosey Girl" from DBSK, but I think there are still a lot of differences between the two.

My brother's commenteries:

* NEWS PV got the professional standard. He had seen one PV from ???? that looks home-videoed.
* Kato Shige looked like Luo Zhi Xiang in the PV(WTH???? Pi should be the one right?)
* He doesn't get what's wrong with Kato Shige... Maybe Shige got stomachache? Shige makes himself totally out of the theme.
* Yamapi doesn't look as good in brown curls (unfortunately).
* Massu has his looks ranking degraded to the last one. (BOY AM I GLAD THAT HE DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT TEGOSHI ^.^V)
* Overall, it is a wierd PV.

To end it all, I shall post one question that some of us might be interested to know =)

Among the members, who do you think would be ok/good as your daughter's husband?

Pi: Kazama Shunsuke
Koyama: Yamapi!
Ryo: there isn't..such..
Shige: Yamashita kun
Massu: absolutely nobody, no way
Tegoshi: mm...Ryo kun!!

Haha~ Pi is totally out of the question. Kazama Shunsuke is not even "Shuai", but maybe he has a good character.

Massu obviously thinks that none of the NEWS memebers are eligible. I wonder why haha.

I disagree with Tegoshi with regards to Ryo. I think his daughter would be like a slave to Ryo in the household =X Remember Ryo is a super MCP XP?

Haha~ That is all for now. Cya next time!

Feeling: Tired

! 5th April 2009 05:19PM !

I am so satisfied! Wow! I've received tons of NEWS pictures that I have never seen before yesterday night! Great! Just to show you guys a few of them.

And of course some really nice ones =) Don't say I'm biased.

Pictures below may come from various sources which I do not know (since a friend passed them to me).

Apparently Ryo placed his hand in the wrong places (which almost always happen).

Massu has become smarter. Knowing that Ryo has 'hairy hands', Massu decided to stay further away from him.

Koyama must have put on makeup a lot and very often. Look at his without makeup shot at bottom left of the picture =X

We know you are hiding something, Massu...

Kei and Massu: Loser!
Shige: You are the one!
Ryo: Hey own up already Shige!
Pi: (slightly irritated) *Why am I here with these kids*?
Tegoshi: *As long as I'm not the one. Let them quarrel =D*

Some NEWS accessories endorsements!!!!

Sometime ago Angelia bought a rose ring claiming that Tegoshi had worn it. I think Angelia might have gotten the wrong ring. Ryo is actually endorsing those rose rings.

More endorsements =D

Height and width of different parts of each NEWS member in 2007. I'm sure these figures are not accurate anymore now.

I've been looking for this picture for so long!!!! Man I am so glad to have gotten this picture!!!! XD

Most of them are pretty eh? The time online yesterday was definately not wasted =D

I'm going to be out of job soon. I will officially tender my resignation tomorrow so as to head into the course full-time at the 2nd semester of the year. Hopefully everything is smooth-sailing.

Just a reminder... Yamapi's birthday is coming soon!!!! If I did not remember wrongly it's at 09 April, one day before Good Friday! Woah! Finally got one day of holiday after going through the whole of March. Must definately enjoy myself hahaha~ Anyways, most likely I'd be at home studying *Sighs*

Haha~ ciao!

Tegoshi is so~ cute!!!! XD I wish he can do away with the perm and start something else.

Feeling: Happy

NEWS's Koi no ABO!!!!

OMG I can't wait for the full PV to be out!!!! At last, a PV that seems comparable to KAT-TUN's standard. The full PV is not out yet, so this is just a preview.

What? The opening of the video is like "Saturday Night Fever" with 6 John Travoltas? NEWS is going retro????

I'm glad that Tegoshi looked pretty cool in the PV cos' I don't really approve of his perm. As you can see, Kato Shige is trying too hard to act cool. As you can see, it kinda backfired on the PV. Don't say I always speak ill about Kato, but he is really those kind of people who really do too much unnecessary things *Sigh*.

Later on in the PV, we see ladies and NEWS hanging around. Is this kinda an imitation of KAT-TUN's "Don't You Ever Stop"? Anyway, this PV indicates that the guys of NEWS have matured, especially towards the end when Massu is dancing with a sexy lady.

Anyway, the full song sounded pretty catchy.

As usual, Tegoshi's high pitch is awesome!!!!

I can't wait to listen to the other songs in the singles! According to the fans, one other song that is nice in the Singles is called "Share".

Just a very short update for you guys. Enjoy!

Feeling: Satisfied
Listening to: Koi no ABO - NEWS

! 2nd April 2009 12:56AM !

Hahaha~ Here I am... Blogging at an unearthly hour bringing you more NEWS stuffs...

After the previous entry about great men, I have decided to include more of Pi, Massu and Tegoshi related stuffs into my posts and stop recommending other not-so-qualified people (as what Angelia suggested). Let's not waste time and start with our dear leader Pi!

The reason why I made this Pi post is because sleeping Pi is so cute!!!! Let's not waste time =)

All the above Pi picture credits to xX aIzaMa Xx.

I've just got a batch of Massu's concert photos. Just sharing a few of the photos hahaha~ I'm always kinda apprehensive of visiting Massu's picspam sites cos' Massu can be so photogenic that I always save quite a few each time I visit.

Incidentally, I made a new discovery! Massu points with his index finger a lot o_o And apparently, my favourite out of all the newest collection =)

Next up...

And this is my all-time favourite picture of Tegoshi =D

Okay... That is not the main point. You think Tegoshi sounded like a girl at high pitches right? Then you have not met Vitas yet =)

This guy is earning big bucks. Note that all the high pitches are sang by the guy himself. I salute him man!

Extras!!!!

Kusano Hironori, the ex-member of NEWS. Another great man with good voice and of-course, another Shige bully.

Shige answers the question correctly with "A ga star" meaning "A is a star". He then starts making "cool" looks at the camera ("Arrggh" DX) and Kusano uses his ultimate palm (which last time stops Massu from being so proud of his newly developed muscles) to stop him. Poor Shige, but good moves =)

A little update about my life...

My mother is feeling very sick with fever and horrible sore throat that changes her voice. My brother is having a slight fever, and I am coughing as well. But we will tide through. Yay~

Okay end of story. Better sleep now. Ja ne!
